Money magazine’s college ranking considers quality, affordability and outcomes. Among 711 colleges and universities, Money ranks TCNJ 24th in the nation and 14th among all public colleges and universities. It is the top public institution in New Jersey.

The College of New Jersey remains a top contender in the search for affordable education with its induction in the Princeton Review’s Colleges That Pay You Back: The 200 Schools That Give You the Best Bang for Your Tuition Buck.

The magazine’s unique rankings are based on three key criteria: social mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs), and service (encouraging students to give something back to their country).
